I'm wary of BMW Diesels Avant, especially in 4 cylinder guise, they have form for various wallet emptying problems as the miles pile on, not helped one bit by the fleet/lease sales led industry norm (not Toyota/Lexus you'll note) of 20k service intervals.
And if thats not enough they came up with the brilliant plan of fitting timing chains (prime Edam?) at the back end of North South engines, great bit of design that lads
To be fair i'm wary of nearly all modern Diesels now (PSA's 1.6 Diesel of Doom anyone as found in other makes)(VW's ideally situated never known to fail EGR perchance), anything fitted with a DPF won't be coming to stay with us unless its so cheap that its disposable if it cost more than fifty quid to fix.
On the subject of cheap repairs to modern Diesels, fortunately our lorries are leased and on full maintenance/repair package, just as well cos should the combined exhaust/cat/dpf thingy on mine fail its a cool £11,000.
We left Alice's wonderlad behind a few years ago and have been transported to a surreal parallel world of lunacy, where we'll be in another 20 years i dread to think, if i'm still around and not gone completely gaga i'll still be driving an old Landcruiser.
